West Coast Road Trip Experience: Oregon Coast

Day 20 May 19, 2011

Lovely day to check out the coast. We went to the sand dunes, checked out the sea lion caves, and other fun activities.

West Coast Road Trip: Railroad Muserum in Sacramento, CA

It was day 17 on May 16, 2011 and we were driving up to Sacramento, CA from San Jose. Our first visit was the Railroad Museum in Old Sacramento. Brandon was really excited to see the real, big trains. There were also Thomas and Friends displays too.

West Coast Road Trip Experience: San Jose, CA

Day 15 & 16 (May 14 & May 15th), we were in San Jose, CA. Arrived at the Winchester Mansion just to check out the garden. That night we've met up with my sister's sister-in-law and her kids for dinner.

The next day, we spent our afternoon at the Children's Museum and the Flea Market. Brandon enjoyed the activites and stuff he saw at the Children's Museum.




 

West Coast Road Trip Experience: Hollywood, CA

It was day 14 (May 13, 2011) and we were heading to Universal Studios in Hollywood. This was fun for us and Brandon because of the entertainment stuff and cartoon characters.

West Coast Road Trip Experience: San Diego, CA

SAN DIEGO SEA WORLD


It was day 13 (May 12, 2011) and this was the day we visited Sea World and Safari Park. It was a VERY long day because we rushed from one place to the other. And then there was the 1.5 hrs drive back to Los Angeles.

Yep, lots of things to see, especially for Brandon's first time. One section was blocked off as I think there was renovations going on. Too bad we missed the Shamu show tho. Anyway, here are pictures of Brandon having a good time.



Since we got there early, the line-up for photos wasn't too long(would be horrible if we stood there in the sun getting fried).


We bought Brandon a souvenir: a shark plush toy. And a nice photo with the Volkswagon Beetle Car.



SAN DIEGO SAFARI PARK ZOO

It was late in the day, but we managed to make it through the safari park and saw most of the animals before the closing time.



 

West Coast Road Trip Experience: Newport Beach, LA

Day 12 (May 11, 2011) was our rest and relax day. We went to Newport Beach to take a nice walk along the beach. It was another perfect weather and a perfect day. Brandon loved the scenery and so did I. We finally bought new sunglasses for Brandon from the mall because I accidentally lost it at Disneyland. That was my fault. It was hard to find one that fits him perfectly.





Here's Brandon enjoying his frozen banana "popsicle".


Back at our hotel that night.

West Coast Road Trip Experience: Disneyland

Day 9-11 (May 8-10, 2011) and Brandon finally got to go to Disneyland. The 3rd day we went to California Adventure Park. We bought 3-day park hopper passes. Actually, it was included in the Southern California City Pass we bought. Since we were going to so many places, it was a better deal.


Disneyland:

Brandon loves his cars. He wanted to sit in Mickey's car


Finally a photoshoot with mickey after the long line up the 2nd time. The first time we had to leave (when we were almost there) because Brandon had to go potty.


Big hugs from Pooh Bear and a photoshoot


California Adventure Park:

I think this was one of those security vehicles. I had to take a pic. Brandon wanted to sit in the driver's seat.


Cars 2 with Mater and Lightning McQueen (Brandon's favorite)


Photoshoot with Sailor Mickey. It was super sunny. Luckily the lineup was short.


A visit at the RideMakerz Shop in Downtown Disney. We built a custom Lighting McQueen.



At the end of the day, we went for dinner nearby our hotel. Guess what Brandon got for dessert that was included with his kid's meal -- worms & dirt. Actually, it's gummy worms and chocolate crumbs with fudge at the bottom. Interesting!
